Metal Picnic Tables

When shopping for metal picnic tables, don't be fooled by appearances. If you are picturing the traditional aluminum look, you can find that in our classic Early Years Standard Rectangular table. However, many of our metal tables are coated with plastisol or polyethylene and boast bright, beautiful colors. At first glance, you might not even guess that the tabletops and seats are made of metal. Explore the outdoor metal picnic tables we have for sale online and find the one that's right for you.

Table Sizes

You can buy tables in different sizes and have them delivered to your commercial or residential location. Our Early Years aluminum table has a table height of 20 inches and a seat height of 12 inches, which makes it very accessible to children. Some of our metal tables can be purchased in both adult and children's sizes. The tabletop height of the adult model UltraLeisure Style Perforated Portable Frame Rectangle Picnic Table is 31 inches. The children's model in the same style has a tabletop height of 24 inches. Some metal tables come in varying lengths, as well.

Portability

Occasionally, it might be necessary to move a picnic table to a different location. Perhaps a picnicker wants to move the table into the shade or bring it closer to other tables. Check the descriptions of our tables to determine their size, weight and portability. In some locations, you might prefer that the table be permanently affixed to the ground. For example, some tables are intended to remain under a shelter or near playground equipment. For many of our outdoor metal picnic tables, you have the option to purchase mounting hardware to secure the table to a cement pad.

Surface Textures

The perforated surface design is a popular choice, as it allows moisture, wind and dirt to fall to the ground below it. This style is eye-catching and fun! The Early Years aluminum table has solid tabletop and seat surfaces, which is great for table games or writing activities. The type of coating you select for the table surface can make the surface appear either glossy or matte. When evaluating your surface texture choices, consider who will be using it, what types of activities they will use it for, and the best methods for keeping the tables clean.

Maintenance

In order to keep your metal table safe, follow the care and maintenance instructions of the manufacturer. Periodically inspect the table for any damage caused by weather conditions and use. If you have affixed the table to a cement pad, make sure the mountings are secure. Clean the table after each use to preserve its beauty. Provide good lighting around the table area and put the table into storage during extended periods of non-use to prevent graffiti.

Uses

Metal picnic tables can be used in parks, schools, and other places where children and adults get together for picnics and recreation. Their bright colors are inviting and complement the colors often found in play areas. Seats can be removed from some models to make them accessible by wheelchair. We use rounded edges on some designs for additional comfort. Browse the options available from PlaygroundEquipment.com and discover the beauty of outdoor metal picnic tables all over again!
